Yucatech Festival

This event is betting on southeast Mexico to be the next tech hub in Latin America — think AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and business, with real capital backing every pitch at the Elevator Pitch Hour.

The first edition went down on April 16, 2026, at the Yucatan International Congress Center, with over 500 attendees and speakers like Uri Levine (Wazeaplicación móvil de navegación GPS co-founder). Creare Ride took the win at Elevator Pitch Hour.

It's not a business — Esteban is funding it out of pocket because he believes Merida can be the region's next tech hub. It's going to happen every year.
